But I guess we've all gotten used to it over the years. ;-) (Still, I've always preferred Davies to the Opera House.)
One thing I forgot to mention was that Edo really set the tone for the improvement in the orchestra's playing, since, during his tenure, the players had to choose between playing in the symphony and playing in the opera orchestra. Since many chose the opera orchestra (some with Edo's encouragement!), Edo was in charge during the huge influx of new players into the symphony at that time, which, by all accounts, really improved the quality of the orchestra's playing and set new, higher standards for performance which continued under Blomstedt and MTT.
You're right - I had forgotten that Edo went on to Minnesota (taking the great Jorja Fleezanis with him to be concert mistress there), but then dropped more out of sight after that gig was over.
